Definitions

  • This invention pertains to a filtering face mask that has filter media integral with the mask body and that can allow a variety of headband assemblies to be removably attached to the mask body.
  • Filtering face masks are worn over the breathing passages of a person for two common purposes: (1) to prevent impurities or contaminants from entering the wearer's breathing track; and/or (2) to protect others from being exposed to pathogens and other contaminants exhaled by the wearer.
  • the mask In the first situation, the mask is worn in an environment where the air contains particles harmful to the wearer, for example, in an auto body shop.
  • the mask In the second situation, the mask is worn in an environment where there is a high risk of infection, for example, in an operating room.
  • filtering face masks are described in, e.g., U.S. Patent 4,536,440 to Berg, 4,807,619 to Dyrud et al., 5,307,706 to Kronzer et al., 5,724,677 to Bryant et al., and D285,374 to Huber et al., as well as in International Publication No. WO 98/58558 by Angadjivand et al.
  • Commercially available products include the 1800TM, 1812TM, 1838TM, 1860TM, and 8210TM brand masks sold by the 3M Company.
  • filtering face masks typically have a headband extending laterally from the mask around the back of the wearer's head and neck.
  • the headbands usually include an elastic strap that adapts to a range of sizes.
  • Known headband attachments for a porous filtering face mask are permanent, such that removal of the headbands from the face mask body requires either destruction of the headbands, the face mask body, or both the headband and the face mask body.
  • a drawback of permanent attachment is that when either component, the headband or the face mask, reaches the end of its useful life, the entire assembly is discarded. For example, if a headband strap or straps break, or the filtering portion of the face mask becomes clogged with filtrate, the wearer discards the whole mask for a new one.
  • Another drawback is that, because the headbands are permanently attached to the face masks- tne masks are supplied with either one or two straps.
  • Examples of face masks that accommodate two straps are shown, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 2,353,643 to Bulbulian, U.S. Patent No. 3,220,403 to Silverberg, U.S. Patent No. 5,191,882 to Vogliano, and U.S. Patent No. 5,086,768 to Niemeyer. Although these face masks and respirators accommodate two straps, the devices all require that both straps be attached to the mask body for proper positioning of the mask. None of the patents disclose a mask with a single strap or with a system that can accommodate either a single strap or double straps.
  • a new and improved headband system for a filtering face mask is needed.
  • Such a system should provide for detachably connecting a headband assembly to a face mask using headband assembly connectors that are fixedly attached to the filtering face mask.
  • manufacturers can supply the filtering face masks independently of the headband assemblies that are used to hold the face masks in position on a wearer's head. After the filtering face mask has met its service life, the user can then detach the headband assembly from the face mask and re-use it with a new mask .
  • One advantage of this approach is the reduced cost that can be achieved by supplying the filtering face masks and headband assemblies independently. By providing the filtering face masks without headbands, the cost of including a headband assembly with each mask and the cost of attaching a headband assembly to each mask can be avoided.
  • Another advantage is that wearers may be able to reuse their own headbands, which may, in some instances, require little to no adjustment after removal from a spent porous filtering mask body and attachment to a fresh mask body. This may improve both the comfort and convenience of using the filtering face masks. By reusing headbands, it may also be possible to improve comfort by providing headband assemblies that are manufactured of more expensive materials that, due to cost constraints, could not be supplied with every face mask and disposed after a single use. Further, more consistent face filters may be provided.
  • the invention provides, in a first aspect, a filtering face mask that includes a porous filtering mask body.
  • the mask body is adapted to fit over the nose and mouth of a person to filter air before it is inhaled by the person.
  • the filtering face mask also includes headband mounts that are fixedly attached to opposing sides of the porous filtering mask body.
  • the headband mounts are adapted to detachably connect to a headband assembly that can support the porous filtering mask body over the person's nose and mouth.
  • the present invention provides a plurality of filtering face masks in a package.
  • Each of the filtering face masks in the package includes a porous filtering mask body that is adapted to fit over the nose and mouth of a person to filter air before it is inhaled by the person.
  • the filtering face masks also include headband mounts that are fixedly attached to opposing sides of the porous filtering mask body.
  • the headband mounts adapted to detachably connect to a headband assembly that can support the porous filtering mask body over the person's nose and mouth.
  • the package may be provided without any headband assemblies, in other words, the package is free of any headband assemblies.
  • the package may include at least one headband assembly. If provided, the headband assembly includes connectors adapted to connect to the headband mounts on one of the filtering face masks. The number of headband assemblies in the package is less than the number of filtering face masks in the package.
  • the present invention provides a method of using a filtering face mask of the present invention.
  • the method includes providing first and second filtering face masks, each of the face masks including a porous filtering mask body.
  • the porous filtering mask bodies are adapted to fit over the nose and mouth of a person to filter air before it is inhaled by a wearer.
  • the filtering face masks also include headband mounts that are fixedly attached to opposing sides of the porous filtering mask body.
  • the headband mounts are adapted to detachably connect to a headband assembly that can support the porous filtering mask body on a wearer's face.
  • the method of use also includes providing a headband assembly that includes connectors adapted to connect to the headband mounts on the porous filtering mask bodies.
  • the connectors are attached to the headband mounts on the first filtering face mask and the mask with headband assembly are retained over the nose and mouth of a person. Air breathed by the person is filtered through the first filtering face mask.
  • the connectors on the headband assembly are detached from the headband mounts on the first filtering face mask and attached to the headband mounts on the second filtering face mask.
  • the first filtering face mask may then optionally be discarded.
  • FIG. 1 shows a front elevational view of a face mask 10 that has a headband assembly 20 that includes two straps, each strap mounted at one side of the mask according to the principles of the present invention
  • FIG. 1A is an enlarged partial cross-sectional view of the mask body 12 illustrating the various layers in the mask body.
  • FIG. 2 shows a partially exploded perspective view of a portion of the mask 10 and headband assembly 20 shown in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of an first strap connector 30 on a headband assembly to a face mask according to the principles of the present invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of one alternative headband mount 114 according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of another alternative headband mount 214 according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating the combination of a plurality of face masks 310 and at least one headband assembly 320 in a package 380-
  • FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating the combination of a plurality of face masks 410 in a package 480.
  • the present invention provides systems for supporting filtering face masks over the nose and mouth of a person to filter air before it is inhaled.
  • the filtering face masks include porous filtering mask bodies that may be either molded or provided in a flat mask configuration. Examples of some porous filtering mask bodies are described in, e.g., U.S. Patents 5,307,706 to Kronzer et al., 4,807,619 to Dyrud, 4,536,440 to Berg, 5,724,677 to Bryant et al., and D285,374 to Huber et al., as well as in International Publication No. WO 98/58558 by Angadjivand et al.
  • porous filtering mask bodies include filter media that is integral with the mask body, (as differentiated from masks or respirators including non-porous mask bodies and cartridges that contain the filter media, whether the cartridges are replaceable or not). It is preferred that the integral filter media cannot be separated from the porous filtering mask body without physically damaging the filter media. In many instances, the filter media is provided as a layer that is substantially coextensive with the porous filtering mask body.
  • the present invention also provides a variety of headband mounts fixedly attached to the porous filtering mask bodies.
  • the headband mounts are adapted to detachably connect headband assemblies to the porous filtering mask bodies.
  • the headband mounts may be regarded as a headband connection system that suitably includes or consists essentially of the headband mounts, independent of any headband assembly.
  • connection between the headband assembly and the porous filtering mask body may allow for pivoting or rotation at the point of attachment. That pivoting attachment may improve both the fit and comfort of the filtering face masks.
  • Another advantage provided by some embodiments of the invention is the ability to attach either a single strap or double straps to the face mask at a single connection point to establish a good seal against the wearer's face.
  • the system also may provide for utilizing an essentially identical strap for either the single strap configuration or utilizing two of the same straps in a double strap configuration. And the system may also allow interchangeable mounting of either the single strap or two straps to the mask.
  • the present invention addresses these, as well as other shortfalls associated with known face mask headbands.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a filtering face mask, generally designated 10, that includes a mask body 12 that has a nose clip 16 located on an upper portion of the mask body.
  • the mask 10 is generally configured to follow the contour of the wearer's face, and the nose clip 16 is pliable to allow the mask to better adapt to the radical contour at the wearer's nose.
  • the nose clip may have the configuration described in U.S. Patent 5,558,089 to Castiglione.
  • the filtering material may include a fibrous non-woven filtering material 12a (FIG. 1A).
  • Filtering materials that are commonplace on negative pressure half mask respirators like the respirator 10 shown in FIG. 1 contain an entangled web of electrically charged melt-blown microfibers (BMF).
  • BMF fibers typically have an average fiber diameter of about 20 micrometers ( ⁇ m) or less, preferably about 2 to about 15 ⁇ m. When randomly entangled in a web, they have sufficient integrity to be handled as a mat. Examples of fibrous materials that may be used as filters in a mask body are disclosed in U.S. Patent No.
  • the fibrous materials may contain additives to enhance filtration performance, such as the additives described in U.S. Patents 5,025,052 and 5,099,026 to Crater et al., and may also have low levels of extractable hydrocarbons to improve performance; see, for example, International Publication No. WO 99/16945 by Rousseau et al.
  • Fibrous webs also may be fabricated to have increased oily mist resistance using the techniques described in U.S. Patent 4,874,399 to Reed et al., and in International Publication Nos. WO 99/16532 and WO 99/16533, both by Rousseau et al.
  • Electric charge can be imparted to nonwoven BMF fibrous webs using techniques described in, for example, U.S. Patent 5,496,507 to Angadjivand et al., U.S. Patent 4,215,682 to Kubik et al., and U.S. Patent 4,592,815 to Nakao.
  • FIG. 1A illustrates an enlarged cross-section of a portion of the mask body 12 which includes a filter layer 12a, an outer cover web 12b, and an inner shaping layer 12c.
  • the filter layer 12a is integral with the mask body 12. That is, it forms part of the mask body 12 and is not a part that subsequently becomes attached to the body.
  • the cover web 12b may protect the filter layer 12a from abrasive forces and may also retain any fibers that may come loose from the filter layer 12a.
  • the cover web 12b may also have filtering abilities, although typically not nearly as good as the filtering layer 12a.
  • the cover web may be made, e.g., from nonwoven fibrous materials containing polyolefins and polyesters (see, e.g., U.S.
  • Shaping layer 12c provides structure to the mask body 12 and support for filter layer 12a. Although the shaping layer 12c is located on the inside of the mask body 12, it may be located on either side of the filter layer 12a (or on both sides of filter layer 12a).
  • the shaping layer 12c can be made, for example, from a nonwoven web of thermally-bondable fibers molded into a cup-shaped configuration.
  • the shaping layer can be molded in accordance with known procedures (see, e.g., U.S. Patent No. 5,307,796 to Kronzer et al.).
  • the shaping layer or layers typically are made of bicomponent fibers that have a core of a high melting material, such as polyethylene terephthalate, surrounded by a sheath of lower melting material so that when heated in a mold, the shaping layer conforms to the shape of the mold and retains this shape when cooled to room temperature.
